This is Winter? Our Temps Remain In The 80’s

This is winter? Certainly not in South Florida on Tuesday. We’re off to another warm start, and the day features a mix of sun, clouds, and maybe a quick shower in spots. A moderate risk of dangerous rip currents is in place at the Atlantic beaches. Highs on Tuesday will be in the mid 80s.

Valentine’s Day will be a treat for those who love warm weather — we’ll see highs in the low to mid 80s, along with a mix of sun and clouds with maybe a shower in spots.

Thursday will feature more sun, a few clouds, and slightly lower temperatures. Thursday’s high will be in the low 80s.

Look for plenty of sun and a few clouds on Friday, and we can’t rule out a shower. Friday’s highs will be in the low to mid 80s.

Saturday will bring sun, clouds, and a few showers. Highs on Saturday will be back in the mid 80s.
